Aspects...


Some say, are the most important factors in an astrological chart, and since my understanding of this fascinating subject is highly amateurish, I choose to take this view as it is and work from it…

Whichever the case, aspects are what I’ve been thinking of lately. As for how it began, I really don’t know, but I could probably pick, with great confidence, a very specific moment, from today’s many moments, and turn it to a mostly plausible starting point.

Thus, it was while stepping from the detail of a task, to that of another, that a certain sweet little voice dropped a song into my ear, before gracefully flying off and leaving me with a question, or should I say, mission.

Inspired, I began searching and this is what I found, and forgive me if I confuse you:

1) Of all the planetary aspects, conjunctions and oppositions are the most important
2) Oppositions represent forces that must be reconciled –usually reconciliation has to be done within before it is possible outside.
For example, if the moon and the sun were to be found in opposition, it would imply, one could speculate, a separation between the Inner Self and the Personality, and that therefore peace and harmony can only be achieved, overall, when and only when reconciliation takes place within. Usually, tests come through one’s relationships.
Now, if we were to suggest that in this particular case, the moon was in Pisces, and the sun in Virgo, with Virgo ascending, I would say that there is so much we could write about…
3) Now, before embracing despair, let me add that oppositions on the brighter side of possibilities do offer the opportunity for broadening one’s views and comfort zone.

So, while I ponder and seek one possible truth, be well and know that I am quite busily lost…
